Is the ASUS system actually treating FreeDOS differently than Windows? That
is, does Windows boot properly from the HDD (but FreeDOS doesn't) even if
the HDD is not first in the BIOS boot order? Does MS-DOS or PC-DOS or
DR-DOS or ... boot properly?

Hi Jayden,

I doubt that they use DOS as "base" of their "BIOS".
They probably use DOS for some other purposes, for
example to help you to run their BIOS update tool.

FreeDOS is open source, if Asus wants to do something with FreeDOS, they can do
so regardless.

If ASUS is trying to blame FreeDOS for something,why not prove it?I think they
are just ignoring their OWN bios faults.I never had a

But do we have a way to determine if yes or no Asus integrated FreeDOS in their
